Think like This When You Feel Stressed
It's a sweet opportunity. If you look on pressure as a threat, you are sure to be negatively impacted by its occurrence. They look on it as a great chance. They will cherish the pressure moment and approach it with confidence and enthusiasm.
I'll get another chance. Under pressure, we often lose hope. We tend to distort the reality of the situation. One of the most common phrases is the "chance of a lifetime" in which we tell ourselves, "I will never get an opportunity like this again, so I can't miss it."
I'll do my best. This is what people who do their best under pressure tell themselves when they are going into a pressure moment. Because it prevents them from wasting valuable energy worrying over things they can't influence and promotes confidence at the same time. Focusing on doing your best keeps you in the moment and guides your behavior toward success.
People who perform their best under pressure will reduce the significance of the upcoming pressure moment, so they feel less stressed. Whether it's a sales call or an interview for their dream jobs, they are like winning athletes, and when asked how to handle the pressure of the big game, they responded, "It's just another game."
I can control how I respond. People who do their best in a pressure moment focus on what they can control. If you have an upcoming interview, don't worry about the other applicants. You can't control them. Practice how you will handle an unexpected problem.
